The Uniform Law Commission (ULC), also called the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws,[3] is a non-profit, American unincorporated association. Established in 1892, the ULC aims to provide U.S. states (plus the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands) with well-researched and drafted model acts to bring clarity and stability to critical areas of statutory law across jurisdictions. The ULC promotes enactment of uniform acts in areas of state law where uniformity is desirable and practical.[4] The ULC headquarters are in Chicago, Illinois.

The ULC is best known for its work on the landmark Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), drafted in conjunction with the American Law Institute.

Since the ULC first convened in 1892, it has produced more than 450 uniform acts. These acts focus on commercial law, family and domestic relations law, estates, probate and trusts, real estate, alternate dispute resolution, and many other areas of the law. Among the ULC's most widely adopted acts are the Uniform Commercial Code, the Uniform Anatomical Gift Act,[5] the Uniform Trade Secrets Act,[6] the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act,[7] the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act,[8] the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act,[9] the Uniform Transfers to Minors Act,[10] and the Revised Uniform Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets Act.[11]
